Report - Files that HAVE NOT BEEN read within a certain period of time
Is there a report where I can specify files that have not been read within 6 months? I found the "Successful File Read Access" report but I'm looking for the opposite. We are trying to keep our department shares cleaned up so this report would be helpful.

Where is the event cleanup option?
We recently brought up the ADAudit Plus, and was wondering the retention of the events collected on the server? Can this be modified? The instruction indicated an "event cleanup" option, but there is no where to be found. We only see an option for "Archive Events". The version and build we deployed is: Version 4.6.0 Build 4691

logon failures report
We recently installed the products and find that all of our users that connect to us via a vpn connection flood the Logon Failures report with entries. We've monitored the connection. As soon as they logon to the vpn a half dozen or so logon failures appear. They generally are remote sales people using domain computers / accounts and are accessing a server setup to share documents with them. Any ideas why this happens?
Filter local groups in report
We were running the Recently Removed Users from Security Groups report, but we noticed that it is pulling in local group membership removals as well. This became infeasible when a web server began adding and removing a local account repeatedly to a local security group, generating 100+ page reports. However, there appears to be no way to exclude specific accounts if they aren't AD accounts. From searching previous forum posts, it appears your reasoning is that this is because ADaudit is for Active
Windows Member Server Auditing - File Integrity Monitoring Question
Hi, Question on ADAudit Plus -> Windows Member Server Auditing -> File Integrity Monitoring. I see it monitors system files for example under System32, Program Files, etc. On the product website "https://www.manageengine.com/products/active-directory-audit/member-server-audit.html", I see it has a bullet point that states "Restricted data monitored for change: Personal Information | Financial Statements | Card Transaction Files" What does that bullet point mean exactly?

Charts within custom reports
I've created a custom report of logon Failures so I can filter to just an indervidual OU. But for some reason the new report doesn't have the top Logon Failures chart of the top like the standard report does. How can I add this chart to my report?

Yet to fetch event data
Hi, I've added two W2012R2 servers to my trial version as file servers. Yet to fetch event data is permanetly displayed. When I select Run now, I'm prompted to refresh the screen to see the status but the data is never fetched. Steps to troubleshoot this: Added a different file server on WS2012R2 - that fetches data immediately. Added all the shares to auditing Set the SACL via GPO Set Object Access policy via GPO Ran auditpol.exe /get /category:* to confirm I've narrowed it down to Windows Firewall
Enabled/created user report
If I make a custom report with created and enabled users, it shows that the user is both created and enabled at the same time. I know that creating a user should make them enabled, but it is unnecessary to show in the report. Is there a way to show created and enabled users but only when they are enabled by a manager? Thanks, Jim

Folder logging test
Hi All, We're finding our Folder renames and Folder deletions are not getting logged via the File Audit portion of ADAudit Plus. We're on a Windows 2008 R2 platform. Could folks create a folder, rename a folder, delete a folder then see if all these actions are logged? If you could kindly post what server OS you're running and what results you're seeing? Thanks, Brian
Log User Unlocks as well as logins
Trying out ADAudit Plus and cannot seem to find a way to find user logons that include unlocking of the workstation. Our workstations lock after a period of time and we need to be able to log/track/report when this happens as well as when a user unlocks the workstation. This is especially and issue right now if someone just leaves their workstation locked overnight and only unlocks it in the morning v a full log on. Is this possible?

Ability to Copy Rule Groups in Custom Audit Actions
Recently doing a lot of work with custom audit actions. Would be nice if one could copy and existing rule group and past within the same audit action. For example, On one custom audit actions i needed to it take into account the file name involved. That meant re-creating the same rule group 25 times within the same audit action and then adding an additional filter in each rule group for the file name. very tedious. Of course, if the rulr group logic could simply have been changed to AND ..... :)
Ability to change rule group Logic to AND in Custom Audit Actions
For example, on one custom audit action I needed to it take into account the file name involved. That meant re-creating the same rule group 25 times within the same audit action and then adding an additional filter in each rule group for the file name. this is because in the absence of advanced correlations, the rule group logic is always OR . Very tedious. Of course, if the rule group logic could simply have been changed to AND I could have simply created 1 additional rule group, set the rule groups
